Early intervention is recommended even in cases with normal neurological examinations in order to prevent deterioration but our patient with cervical lipomyelomeningocele h...

Illustration of Smooth Isosurfaces

We present in this paper a new particle-based method for sampling and rendering several types of the nonphotorealistic feature contours on implicit surfaces: silhouette, shadow and suggestive contours. We introduce a curve adhesion behavior for dynamic particles that brings up the possibility to render any contour that is defined as an intersection of two smooth implicit surfaces. In the case o...

DesignScript can be viewed as part of the continuing tradition of the development of parametric and associative modeling tools for advanced architectural design and building engineering. Much of the thought processes that contribute to the effective use of DesignScript builds on the tradition of par...
